Total U.S. petroleum deliveries...edged down...to average 19.1 million barrels per day

Let's see if we can't get that down to......0.

Production in North Dakota is probably nearing its peak, but in the next few years, we may be able to increase oil production in south Texas by a million barrels per day, in west Texas by a million barrels per day, in the Gulf by a million barrels per day and in the rest of the US by a million barrels per day. That will raise domestic production by 4 million barrels per day.

Meanwhile, improved efficiency can bring down consumption by a million barrels per day to 18 million barrels per day. That will drop our current imports of about 8 million barrels per day down to 3 million barrels per day. We’ll probably continue to receive a million barrels per day or so from Venezuela and Mexico, which leaves room for 2 million barrels per day from Canada. The rest of Canada’s exports are going to have to find another destination, either as crude shipped from St. John or British Columbia, or as refined fuel shipped from Texas and Louisiana.
